Sitting the opposite from you
like an agelong story.
The food on the table endlessly turns cold
heat becomes cold.
Our tree has no roots ,
our dialogue was absorbed by the dinner table.
Bikwai,
Are you still listening?
(Writing and installation by seemanho)
這展覽是藝術家的自白,記錄了她經驗人與人餐桌上的變異關係。中國人自古至今,視親人團於餐桌前吃飯,為美與親密的事。然而今天城市生活麻木,她和她,餐桌前對坐無言,吃飯而不知飯味兒,是天天實況。重建餐桌場景,藉此感恩生命犧牲,珍惜食物與人情。
